THE best grapes in the world grow aboxt Florence, and any person who has once eaten them will bear witness to this truth. They are always plump, crisp and very sweet, and for raisin making they are doubtless superior to all others. In wine making their only fault-if it be a fault-is the sacharine excess generates too much alcohol in the wine. When the raisin and wine industries grow into the importance to which they are aiming it will be found that ou products vii become famous and rank among the bes
 the world.

THE board of supervisors of Maricopa county, after causing all mortgages to be listed fer taxation, is now considering whether or not such thing is right or just. If all the mortgages were deducted from the assessed value of the real estate they cover, their taxation would be un- questionably right; but if the property is assessed for its value regardless of its liabilities, the subsequent taxation of mortgages would be tantamount to double taxation. In whichever manner the thing is done it is the man who borrows the money that is compelled to pay the tax upon it.

THE order of Commissioner Sparks rel ative to the price of desert lands lying within the railroad limits is retroactive to the extent that parties having hereto fore entered these land and paid twenty five cents per acre are now required to pay two dollars and a quarter more upon making final proof before 8 patent will be issued. Mir. Sparks arbitrary rul- ings are depriving the poor settler of the privileges of the law and giving to the rich man all its benefits.

Saved His Life.

MT. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky, says he was for many years badly afflicted with Phthisic, also diabetes; the pains were almost uncomfortable and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from the first bottle and after taking six bottles, he was entirely cured and had gained in flesh eighteen
 pounds. Says he positively believes he would have died, had it not been fer the relief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold at 50 cts bottle by I. D. Rittenhouss

TEE hunger of the Apache for his nat ural life of pillage and bloodshed is stronger than his fear of military bullets, and no sophistry of the humanitarian can change his characteristic cussedness. The opportunity to commit crime in his familiar haunts is too great tempta- tion to successfully resist, and if any change in the leopard's spots is wrought it must be effected after it's translatio n int o other lands and amid strange sur roundings. In Arizona he is always a savage and hostile Apache.

WE would like very much to witness the experiment of sinking an artesiap well at some point on the mesa south of Florence. There is gradual fall of the surface of the land of about fifteen feet to the mile, and it is known that large volume of the water far up the valley finds an exit through rocky subterranean channels. The mountains bordering the valley on the north also give hope that artesian water can be found. Success in securing good flow means wonders for this section of Arizona.

The matter of pumping water for the purpose of irrigating has from time to time excited considerable attention in this valley, but up to the present time has never been attempted through the impression that water enough could not be raised to the surface to irrigate any considerable amount of land at cost that would leave a margin to the producer. There is however, to-day, pump in course of construction here that is guar anteed to raise stream of one hundred inches of water. Enough to water 200 acres of grain or 400 acres of orchards, at cost of the maintenance of an eight horse power engine not more than ten hours day. Upon the completion of the pump the public will be given ar opportunity to witness it's practica bility. The gentleman who is now constructing the pump has tested it and knows what he is about and what the pump will do It will undoubtedly prove matter ol great importance in thls valley on lands that cannot be reached by river waters through our canals, as the depth O the well makes no difference in the capac l ity of the pump though it probably woult require more as the power above alluded to, eight horse, is not calculated to raise water over, perhaps, thirty five feet -Phenix Herald.

FINAL county contains five producing
 mines that pay regular dividends; dog
 en more that will shortly be placed in
 the same category and score that yield
 handsome returns from the shipment of rich ores. As mineral section it has no peer in the United States and yet the developments are but in their infancy.
 Beside this line of resources the agricul- tural interists already existing, together with those that must follow the consum- nation of the canal enterprises now un- der way, place this in the van of the prosperous counties of the Territory.
 The stock interests too, are large and inn portant, combining wide variety of in dustry and opportunity. We can point with pride to this formidable array of resource aud can invite men of enterprise and means to come to this land of prom ise in the full confidence that they will prosper. Our county is burdened with no indebtedness and it is in prime con- dition to welcome the grand and per. manent boom that is surely coming to it.

THE variety of the products of the soil of the Gila valley at this place is practi- cally unlimited, and success has followed every venture of introducing crops that grow in ether portions of the temperate zone as well as the semi-tropical plants and fruits. Only few years ago it was thought an impossibility to raise potatoes here, and yet no better tubers can be found than those produced in this valley. Properly directed experiments in other products give the same assurance of uni versal adaptation of the soil and climate in the pro6tabl cultivation of the whole catalogue of fruits, vegetables and cereals
 Where everything grows with such luxu- riance; with a market at our doors for everything that the farm or orchard can produce, and with climate that is close ly allied to perfection, it really is wonder that good, sensible and intelligent men are content to plod on year after year in pursuit of mere existence on the farms of the east and the north. Were these facts brought to their attention our couu- try would very soon diaw them to the..land of sunshine and plenty, and every availa- ble acre of tillsble land would be brought under cultivation. Our people must adopt.some means disseminating such in- formation among the people and share with them the good things that a provi- dent nature has given this land.

TIE amount of physical suffering and

TIE amount of physical suffering and mental anguish arising out of the natural meteorological conditions of various geo. graphical divisions of the United States, throughout series of years, are. intense ly greater even in the best favored sec tions than much abused Arizona. Our ridiculed temperature in summer IS not nearly so oppressive as the usual sum- mer weather in the states, while the re- maining eight or nine months of the year are delightfully."- fascinating beyond comparison. The summer months are in- deed warm; but owing to the lack of hu- midity in the pure atmosphere and the rapid evaporation of the precipitation, one scarcely realizes any disgreeable ef- fleets and never experiences the oppress' i've sultriness so common in the states. The summer nights are truly delight ful, being always cool and refreshing, and not single hour of sleep need b' lest. Compared with the variable summer of the east, with its hot days and sultry nights; its sinstrokes and lurking diseas ss, that season in Arizona is indeed on' of exquisite enjoyment. But the re
 maining months of the year we boast of and we sincerely believe that no othe region on the face of the globe is blessed with more perfect climatic condition than southern Arizona possesses, and on of these days it will become the sanitari

FoR the second time the Southern Pas ci6c train has been stopped and the ex- press car robbed short distance east of Tucson. The boldness of the outrage is remarkable, and exhibits in them reck- less defiance of the officers of the law, but their very recklessness is liable to prove their destruction, for their trail was easily found and for the first time a direct and positive pursuit has been made. Every good citizen hopes they may be overtaken and captured and their booty recovered. The successful recurrence of such a crime in the same locality is commentary upon the skill of the detectives not at all complim ent- ary, and they are now urged to better ex- ertions in, the hops of retrieving their regulations.

WASHINGTON, December 2sth.-Attorney-
General Garland has received telegram
from Mr.. RiOrdan. of San Francisco, an
nouncing that he will forward to Washing
ton his brief in the case of Chung All
Lung, involving the right of the United
States Court in California to issue writs of
| haoeas corpus to Cinnamon arriving in this
| country under the provisions of the Re-
strlction Act. Attorney General Garland
informed the California Associated Press
correspondent to-day that he had very
nearly completed his brief in the case, and
that he expected Mr.. Riordans brief to ar
rive in time to be submitted to the Supreme
Court before January 7th, the last day on
| which, under the rule of the Court, cases
| can be submitted for decision upon briefs.
Compliance by Mr.. Riordan with the re-
quest of the Attorney General, that this
case may be advanced, will simplify
greatly any legislation that may be
asked of Congress in relation to
amendment to the Restriction Act.
The Supreme Court will determine the
Jung Ah Lung case without delay, upon
the statements. The opposing Pacific coast
delegates in Congress will then know
whether to ask for further legislation to re-
strict immigration or not.
@Should the Court decide that the Chinese
in view of treaty stipulations existing be-
tween China and the United States, and
are not entitled to the benefit of the habeas
legislation by Congress in pursuance thereof,
corpus, no further enactment by Congress
will be required. unless it should be
thought advisable to press the Mitchell
bill, providing for the abrogation of all
treaty provisions permitting Chinese i'm
migration.
Should the Court decide that the Chinese
are as fully entitled to the benefits of the
habeas corpus as citizens of the United
States, Congress will be asked to grant the
total prohibition of Chinese immigration
Mr.. Morrow, who has been in frequent
| consultation with the Attorney General re-
specting the advancement of the Jung All
Lung case, will, if the Attorney General
thinks it advisable, unite in the argument
for the advancement of the case.

CHICAGO, December 2Sth.-On January

transcontinental passenger rates, the re-
qulsite ten days notice of an advance hay-
ing been duly given. There are only tw

raised in most instances, and new second
class tickets, which correspond with the
old emigrant or third-class rates.
Although the increases will be found in
this class IN the new schedule, there will
be only two rates in effect from points on
the Missouri river TO the Pacific coast
which will be $50 frst-class, limited, and
$35 second-class. These will be the figures
on all transcontinental lines except via
ST. Paul to Oregon and Washington Terri
tory points. The rates between Chicago
and San Francisco will be first-class, $72 so;

$93. These tickets will be unlimited
where with old rates continuous passage,gas
necessary.
The most important advance, however,
is in round-trip excursion tickets, a species
of travel which constitutes nine-tenths of
the business now being done by the over
land lines since the boom began These
have been fixed at $50 between Chicago
and the Pacific coast, and $50 from the
Missouri river. These have been advanced
from Chicago to 500, and from the
Missouri river to $50 There is this differ
ence, however: Under the old rule their
use was confined to certain dates on which
special trains were run, but by the new
deal excursion tickets are good on any of
the regular daily trains.

ALL FOR A DIRTY sOUAW.
a Miner Murdered Thu Iough Jealousy
About a Squaw.

A Miner Murdered Thu ough Jealousy
About a Squsw.
Copyright, 1887, by the California Associated Press
FRESNO, December 2Sth.-This evening q
Dane named John Jonsen, a miner at the
Musick gold mine, in this county, came to
the city and surrendered himself to the
Lawson at the mine Yesterday in self
defense. He claimed that the quarrel
originated over an Indian squaw in the
camp, Lawson calling Jonsen hard names
because the latter was courting the woman.
Jonsen offered to fight Lawson for the
woman with fists, but says Lawson would
not fight that way, but wanted to fight
with rifles. Jonsen SAYS that to avoid
trouble he went to his cabin. Lawson fol-
lowed him with a knife, and he shot him
in self-defense, shooting him three times.
Shortly after Jonsen was locked up a
man named Higan arrived in town and
swore to the following: THE men quar-
relied about squaw. Jonsen challenged
Lawson to fight, and Lawson declined be-
cause Jonsen was too big. Then Jonsen
said, Get your gun, and I'll fight you that
way"
Lawson replied that he had no gun, and
witness Higan says he took Lawson by the
arm and led HIM away to avoid trouble.
They had gone but little ways when Jon
sen came up behind with a rife Lawson
called him names. Jonsen fred, and Law
son ran few steps, crying, you've killed
me-" Jonsen fired two additional shots
into the body as Lawson fell to the ground.
All the men were drunk.
The Coroner goes tonight TO hold an in
quest. Jonsen is said to be bad man.
